The vice chancellor of Australian National University will speak about his research and is leading a faculty delegation from ANU for substantive meetings with IU President Michael A. McRobbie and other university leaders.

Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing researchers have received $1.8 million from the National Science Foundation to ensure that door locks, lightbulbs, cameras and other common household items, which are increasingly connected to the internet, remain secure.

A physicist and astronomer who has played a major role in the detection of new worlds orbiting distant suns will deliver a free lecture about the search for exoplanets at Indiana University Bloomington.

To investigate the link between environmental chemical exposure and adverse health effects, four Indiana University researchers are planning to use a tool similar to what millions of Americans wear on their wrists. The researchers plan to use silicone bracelets, often worn to show support for a cause or sold as a fundraiser, to examine the relationship between coal mining in the Appalachian region and health problems in the people living there.

Indiana University researchers have reported the first definitive evidence for a chemical bond between two negatively charged molecules of bisulfate, or HSO4, a new molecular structure with potential applications to the safe storage of nuclear waste and reduction of chemicals that contaminate water and trigger large fish kills. The study, led by Amar Flood, appears in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
